Some of the smaller ones I will. The big ones we may decorate.When these cure out over the next several months I'll have thousands of seeds if someone wants some.

Wow snuffy those are huge gourds I have never seen them that large. I know everything is Texas is bigger and those could be turned into condo's for several bird families. How did your poppy's do this year?

Poppies did well! Chopped out most of them,they delay my planting too much.They grow around the fringes of my beds.

I got a couple that I thought were big from a neighbor last year. Mine are only about 18" tall, lol.

Grew apple gourds one year and they nearly too over the entire garden. Can't imagine what those would do. Really cool looking!
